Our cattlemen should bear in mind that the Apache County Cattlegrowers Association meets on the 5th of April, and be making their arrangements to attend. There will be considerable busi- ness before them at this meeting, beside laying out work for the round-ups. No cattleman or horseman, who feels an in terest in the business in which he is en- gagged should fail to identify himself with this association at once. He would soon find that the benefits to be derived from such an association, are worth a great deal more to him than the expense attached. All are invited to become members who are eligible, and none that are entitled to membership should permit themselves to remain without it's pale any longer.

Under Sheriff Mckinney reports Springe-ville as one of the most quiet and orderly places in Arizona. Indis- criminate shooting is indulged in no lon- ger-people are not awakened every night by such fusilade of fire arms, as would lead one to suppose, who was un- acquainted with the customs of the place, that the town had been attacked by rowing band of Apaches-saloon keepers do not have to close their places of business, as they did short time back, when a gang of the would-be bad men rode into town. So much for having officers who dare do their duty.

We understand that Mir. Nathan Earth started for Prescott last Monday to obtain writ of mandamus to compel our authorities to recognize the bond as fixed by Court Commissioner Ruiz, or accept such security as they may offer on the bonds fixed by the County Court, in the case of Sol Earth, whether the officer thinks them sufficient or not. As We understand the situation, mo- tion and plea for reduction of bail in this case was made before County Judge Morrison and denied. Judge Morrison holding that the bail was not excessive. District Attorney Baldwin now contends that the Commissioner has gone beyond

The schemers for division of the county, most signally failed in their at tempt to ruin Apache for their own ag- grandisement. Our much esteemed Councilman can now draw up, at his leisure, another bill, and hold it in abey- ance until he is elected to represent the people of Apache county once more but we are afraid he will have to hold 1t a long time, before he has an opportunity of offering it himself.

The Board of Supervisors are in di- lemma. The clerk, Dr. Vim. T. Dalby, has received two petitions from Wins low, signed by about the same number of persons. One urging the removal of Mr. Cate, and reiterating the charge made by the grand jury-the other, sent by Mir. Cate himself, praying for his re- tention in office, and expressing his in ability to attend personally the meeting of the Board. What the action of the Board will be, We are unable to say but are of the opinion that they will act fairly and impartially, and to the best of their judgment for the interest of the people of Winslow.

An exchange says the local paper is an absolute necessity to the town and county in general, where it is published. All the city papers cannot supply the place of home paper. That should be the first love of every man and woman ; with the home paper they stand locally identified. The local paper gives the city and community much news of inn portance in the world, and gives ill de- tail news which cannot be gained by any other source. Every weeks issue of the paper is so much history, and the rise, growth and prosperity of the town and county can only be recorded by the local paper that is constantly gathering. in its items. People do not properly ap- preciate these home inducements of the local paper; they measure the value of a paper too much by the number of col umns it contains. The local paper at any price, is the cheapest paper one can; patronize. Another object is to be taken into consideration. Every town has one or more newspapers; hence tie circula- ton must be limited. There is, there fore, the greatest need of activity and enterprise, on the part of the citizens, to give their local paper vigorous and substantial support.

We were told that our sage and ven- erable Councilman says, thatif the peo- pie in this end of the county are not sat isfed with the actions of their repre- sentatives, they can-do the next best thing. We are decidedly of the opin- ion that Apache county can find men who will represent them hereafter equal ly as well, if not better, than those who have jzst retired to the obscurity from which they were brought by series of unfortuitous circumstances.

ON THE RANGE. March

ON THE RANGE, March 13, '87. want to growl over the papers and the weather.
 Every territorial paper I see has glow ing accounts of the fine weather we in Arizona are enjoying, together with praises of the fine condition of the range cattle.
 Now T only speak for Apache county and part of Yavapai, the TontoBasin; i; but whatever may be the state of affairs outside of those parts of the territory, here they are very unfavorable. The winter has been too nice. We want snow, and want it badly Very little snow has fallen in the Mogollon Noun tains, and from Silver Creek west, as far as Clear Creek, they are almost bare, and have been so all winter.
 No snow in winter, no grass and water i'll summer. "a
 Many of the creeks and dry washes, that run strong streams all winter, have not had drop in them since last March a year ago.
 This lack Of water back on the ranges has forced the stock to remain all win ter along the rivers and permanent waters, until the grass is eaten and tramped out for ten or fifteen miles back. The consequence is our cattle are far from being in fair condition, and the outlook for the coming spring IS not encouraging. This may be news to some of the papers, but know it is not to the stockmen along the Colorado, and 1 for one can see no reason for the ever lasting talk that the local papers keep up about fine weather, fat cattle and plenty of grass.
 l am not a pesimist, by any means, but what have said is the frozen truth, and for one can see no reasons for con- cealing it. RANGEMAN.

The weather still continues spring like and the young grass is starting up. Out side of the mountains we have had very little snow, and no rain. The outlook for grass and water this summer is rather gloomy. Should we have plenty of rain, however, in April and May, which is not very probable, there would be good grass.
